What are pinchos?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pintxoPinchos<\/em> or pintxos<\/em><\/strong>, are small disks of crusty bread topped with cheese, fish, meat or seafood and are usually found in the Basque Country. However, in recent years pincho bars<\/strong> have been popping up all over Barcelona and in one area in particular \u2013 Poble Sec<\/strong> \u2013 they are \u00a0literally, everywhere.<\/p>\n

Calle Blai in particular, is a lovely broad street, he main street of Poble Sec<\/strong> and is almost full of pinchos bars<\/strong> that attract a young and garrulous crowd every night of the week.<\/p>\n

Pinchos<\/strong> are great because you can eat as little or as much as you want, they can be vegetarian or non-vegetarian, eaten for lunch or dinner or snacks, eaten sitting down or standing up and can be savoury or sweet.<\/p>\n

Pinchos<\/strong> are held together by skewers and it is these skewers that indicate how many you have enjoyed and how many you pay for at the end of your pincho<\/strong> session. When you have finished, hand your plate over and the person serving will count your pincho<\/strong> skewers and charge you accordingly. In some pincho bars<\/strong>, all pinchos<\/strong> are 1 euro whereas in others the prices vary – as does the quality, although most pinchos<\/strong> are pretty good when it comes to quality. And pinchos<\/strong> go well with wine<\/a>, beer<\/span> or cava.<\/p>\n

A night out<\/a> on Blai is a great way to spend an evening in Barcelona. Meet some friends, parade up and down the street a couple of times, find a table, grab a plate and start “pinchoing” like a professional.<\/p>\n

\"pintxoTo get to Calle Blai, you can either walk or take a metro<\/a> to either Paral\u00b7lel (L2 & L3) or Poble Sec (L3). Pincho bars<\/strong> are generally open from lunchtime but become extremely busy by about 9 or 10pm, so if you want to eat at a table, it is best to get there early.<\/p>\n

It is also worth checking out the adjacent streets to Calle Blai, as not all the pincho bars<\/strong> are located on Blai. You might just find somewhere quieter away from the masses.<\/p>\n
